RE: ADSactly History : The Contributions Of Egyptian Philosophy To The Wider World - A Survey Of Ancient Greeks [Concluding part]

in #history5 years ago

Your synthesis of the Greek philosophers you call Socratic is pretty good. I was surprised you didn't start with Socrates. His method of teaching is known as "mayeutica", which consisted of formulating questions through questions. Almost all of Plato's work is nothing more than the putting into action of the wisdom inherited from Socrates.
Apparently many of his formulations were influenced by Egyptian wisdom, as you maintain.
It would be interesting to look at other products of Egyptian culture, such as The Book of the Dead or Hermes Trismegistus.
Thank you for your post. Greetings, @samminator.

Thanks for the nice comment buddy.
Yeah, Plato is one of the most successful students of Socrates and that was why I chose to start with him, lol.
